You have probably heard a number of myths about menstruation and exercise. When I first started working out, several people told me that it was unsafe to exercise during my period and that I should instead relax because I would harm my body. However, nobody has ever stopped me from going to work, which I consider to be hypocritical. In actuality, exercising lessens the pain associated with menstrual cramps.



Throughout the menstruation, many changes occur. Exercise causes the release of feel-good hormones called endorphins, which can further lessen menstrual symptoms like mood swings, tension, discomfort, and irritation.

Choose an activity you will love and find more comfortable, such as walking, aerobics, weight training, yoga, or body balance. The aim is to engage in a little workout while listening to music that will make you feel better. Avoid doing any really vigorous activities, such as lifting big weights. Overexertion might increase inflammation, which will make your discomfort worse.

Avoid any inversion-type (upside-down) yoga position at all costs. According to some research, the inversion stance may cause the blood vessels in the uterus to expand, which may improve blood flow. Some says it is because of the pressure on your back, if you experience immense pain in your back during your menstruation, inverted poses should be avoided.



Everyone has a varied level of energy and aptitude, in my opinion, but there is no damage in skipping a few things for two to three days. I would rather avoid thinking about whether or not I should perform inverted positions and instead concentrate on movements that are pain-free. I am aware of many women who avoid exercising when their menstruation cycle. It is not a sickness or a disability.

Take care of your hygiene once you are done with your workout especially during Menstruation:

1. Use antifungal soap and take a shower after your workout.

2. Change your clothes fully.  Don’t use the same track pant the next day.

3. Use a fresh sanitary pad or tampon.

4. Certain pads are very harsh and can cause rash. Use organic cotton pads and apply ointment.

Lastly, listen to your body first if your body says no;  stop your workout whether you are menstruating or not.
